Qais Jameel, a wounded policeman, said some of the attackers spoke in a foreign language. “It sounded like gibberish to me. It wasn’t Arabic,” he said from his hospital bed, the sheets soaked in his blood.

Lt. Col. Sabri said 17 people were killed — almost all police — along with four attackers, two of whom he said carried Lebanese passports. He said he believed all the attackers were non-Iraqis.

The gunmen, shouting Islamic slogans “God is great” and “There is no god but Allah,” also attacked the nearby, heavily barricaded compound of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps that Abizaid visited Thursday. Iraqi security forces battled with the attackers for a half hour in the streets, taking cover behind concrete blocks amid a hail of gunfire.

Any ideas why this foreign language may have been? What were foreign fighters after that would cause them to attack the same area inside of one week? Why would they free criminals? I also read in another story that up to 70 attackers were involved. What light does this shed on the seized documents that claim there is a problem recruiting resistance fighters?
